This book offers a roadmap for conducting continuous school improvement work, illustrating the common stages of the process.

Using improvement science principles and an equity perspective, this book demonstrates how schools and districts can increase their efficacy and how teachers and leaders can improve their practice for the benefit of all students. Through eight case studies representing a variety of K–12 school and community settings, the authors address a range of critical student needs in literacy, math, special education, and social learning. Each case describes how the leaders and their staff engaged in careful exploration of specific problems and their causes, as well as their thoughtful development and testing of solutions. The text analyzes how the leaders, their teachers, and other staff gained collaborative inquiry capacities and reduced inequities to improve student outcomes, particularly for those most challenged. Each case concludes with leaders’ reflections and discussion questions to prompt others engaging in similar work. A summative chapter reflects on the leadership lessons for equity-focused improvement efforts.
